I was UNIMPRESSED by Garcia/Thurman last night

[al-Xander]

Hit and not get hit doe. The Sweet Science. The sweet science of getting overpaid for doing less.

[HanzGruber]

Aren't you the clown that made a thread saying Thurman would be left "in a heap"?

Anyhow, decent fight but my opinion of both went down slightly. Garcia didn't go after it and Keith looked sloppy. Plus, he ran AGAIN. The fight was important and needed to happen though.
Started out really exciting at least.

yes he is "Jot it in your diaries gents, my boy Garcia will style n profile"

Neither of them seized the moment. That and neither of them are THAT good. If this was supposed to bring life to the sport, it failed. Sometimes the unpredictable needs to happen in order to create excitement. This fight was the same story. The fighter who could box on the move, outboxed the fighter who couldn't. Thurman stopped pressing early when he started getting countered by the left hook, and Danny never let loose because of Thurman's explosiveness. Neither fighter dared to step out of their comfort zone to achieve greatness. Thurman did enough to win, and Danny did enough to lose. That's the story of the fight

QFT.. Gone are the days of Barrera, Morales, Pacquiao etc etc

This new generation seems to have learned something from Floyd lol

[RomanReigns]

That's why Spence have a great chance of unifying all of the titles at 147, and become a major star in this sports.

i was very excited after the first round, but then the action got diluted

[ELPacman]

I was mostly disappointing because Thurman was happy to just keep moving in circles and not engage hard. He'd throw some flurries here and there to win/steal rounds and that's all he had in mind.

I'm sure he felt Garcia's power at some point early and made a final decision to just play it safe instead of getting careless at anytime and let Garcia have a chance to slip in a bomb during the exchanges. Less exchanges meant less chance of Garcia to get in anything.

Garcia so stationary at times, it's easy to box circles around him.

[al-Xander]

I predicted a Thurman win, which was obvious to many including Berto, Porter, Spence, among many others. It now certainly appears many were expecting more. But it was obvious Garcia was the one disengaging by clinching. There was never any moment where the ref didn't have to step in and just let them give it all they got. The trade fans were expecting to see never happened.

You want a brawl go instigate a street fight this is boxing it gets technical.

[antonio bando]

I am a purist and I love a good technical fight but this was awful. You can be technical and step on the gas a little too. What rigo did to donaire is a great technical performance. Thurman looked terrified to lose his 0. Seriously when was the last time a "big" fight was exciting? Jcc and Martinez 2012?? I mean Floyd stunk up his Showtime contract, manny hasn't had a stoppage in a decade, and canelo beating blown up Welters is seeing his numbers plummet. I think canelo jcc has more pressure on its back than what I thought. If it doesn't sell and isn't a good fight it's looking pretty bleak
